FOX rear shock series for every MTB discipline
FOX groups its rear shocks by riding style and spring type. Float air shocks are all about low weight and precise tuning, while DHX coil shocks focus on traction and a naturally linear ride feel. Choosing the right shock comes down to eye-to-eye length, stroke, damping tune, and how you ride, whether you’re chasing XC efficiency or pushing hard on gravity-focused terrain.
Float SL for cross-country riding
The Float SL is an ultra-light rear shock built for marathon and cross-country racing. Its optimized air spring and EVOL air sleeve keep climbing efficient without giving up traction. A slim chassis keeps weight down, making it a smart choice when every gram matters on race day.
Float as a versatile trail shock
The Float is FOX Factory’s go-to air shock for trail and all-mountain riding. With Open, Medium, and Firm compression modes plus adjustable rebound, it’s easy to tune for everything from long days in the saddle to fast, technical trail rides. For a closer look at the different Float models and setup options, you’ll find more details on our Float series page. The result is reliable damping performance without added complexity.
Float X for aggressive trail and enduro riding
The Float X is FOX’s performance-focused air shock for aggressive trail, all-mountain, and enduro riding. As the successor to the DPX2, it delivers a supple initial stroke, strong mid-stroke support, and controlled progression deep in the travel. The EVOL air sleeve, pressure-balanced damper, and Kashima coating help keep climbing efficient while maintaining control and composure on demanding descents.
Float X2 for gravity air shock performance
The FOX Factory Float X2 is built for gravity racing and high-impact riding. Four-way damping adjustment for high- and low-speed compression and rebound, combined with a monotube design and a piggyback reservoir, delivers maximum control when loads get heavy. Whether you’re racing downhill, riding enduro at speed, or spending most of your time in the bike park, this air shock offers a coil-like ride feel at a significantly lower weight. Factory Kashima coating and a reinforced chassis with a half-inch shaft add the durability needed for repeated hard riding, even at World Cup level.
DHX2 for downhill coil traction
The FOX Factory DHX2 is a high-end coil shock built for downhill, enduro, and freeride riding. With four-way damping adjustment and the naturally linear feel of a steel spring, it delivers exceptional traction and a smooth, composed ride on rough terrain. World Cup teams trust the DHX2 for its consistent performance and maximum grip, especially when conditions get demanding. For a closer look at specifications, tuning options, and compatibility, you can find more details on our DHX2 series page.
FOX MTB shocks – key technologies
FOX Factory has been developing high-performance shocks since 1974, starting in motorsport and expanding into mountain biking in the 1990s. Today’s rear shocks combine patented technologies with precise, computer-controlled manufacturing, delivering performance, tuning range, and durability riders can rely on.
- Kashima coating: Kashima is a gold-colored surface treatment that combines extremely low friction with high wear resistance. The result is smoother suspension movement and reduced wear over time. All FOX Factory Series shocks feature Kashima coating.
- EVOL air sleeve: The EVOL air sleeve increases air volume and lowers breakaway force, improving sensitivity over small bumps. Its linear-to-progressive spring curve provides better mid-stroke support with controlled end-stroke progression.
- Pressure-balanced damping: An internal pressure compensation system prevents oil cavitation, keeping damping performance consistent even on long, demanding descents. This ensures predictable suspension behavior when it matters most.
- Four-way damping adjustment: Independent adjustment of high- and low-speed compression and rebound allows precise tuning. This level of control is ideal for riders who want to fine-tune their setup or adapt suspension performance to specific tracks and conditions.
